Jerusalem — The son of former Israeli President Shimon Peres gave a sober assessment of his father’s condition following a massive stroke and said the family “will have to make decisions.”

Shortly after 11 p.m. on Tuesday night, several hours after Peres, 93, was admitted to Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer near Tel Aviv, hospital officials said the statesman remained in stable but serious condition in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.

Tel Aviv – Yair Lapid has spent nearly two years in the political wilderness of the parliament. After a meteoric election victory three years ago that made him finance minister, Lapid’s centrist Yesh Atid party — which harnessed the energy of a wide-ranging social protest movement — lost nearly half its seats in 2015 and went into the opposition as the fourth-largest party in parliament.
